So, like if this guy is your friend Doug, I'm sorry, but he's either stupid 
or he's been in academia too long.

How could anyone imagine (anyone over the age of eight) that what Bush is 
doing is protecting the rights of American citizens. Seems to me he's 
willing to flush those rights and a lot of American lives in order to 
better serve the oil plutocracy of which he is a part.
